vegan scalloped potatoes & squash and chard with harissa sauce

Well we are finally coming to the end of a very, very long source of anxiety for me.

We have sent in our application for our son's Pre-Kindergarten assignment. Phew! Now we wait until June to find out which one he got into.

When I became pregnant with him my first thoughts were, Where will he go to school? I even mentioned this to my OBGYN, who thought I was crazy.

So, after doing my due diligence and researching all that is out there, I am leaving it up to fate. I have applied to only four out of the twelve I am allowed to apply to, none of them in my district, never mind my zone. I just have to hope that one of them will accept him. And if not, I can always put him on their wait lists, and if that doesn't work he can stay at his current school another year (while we love the school, it is quite a bit more pricey than free).

So, I'm done. I can relax, right?

Here are two recipes that have been a hit with my husband and me, but my son won't even taste them. I understand his resistance to the squash, which has a spicy kick, but the potatoes? Potatoes in all forms should be a pre-schooler's favorite. But he'd rather eat a whole bowl of green beans. Go figure.
